Who saw the programme on Sunday. The article about Joseph Arch was filmed outside my local, five minutes walk away. Half a dozen real ales, good pub grub, I can't believe my good fortune.

Now you only need a boat .....

No, don't tell me ! ;-)

JoyLouise, yes, you have the right Bob. The river is not deep enough for a boat, sadly, unless it floods, then we have to fit flood defences on our front door and air bricks.. This hasn't happened since 2007, when after some serious flooding, (that pub was under two feet of water) the Environment Agency got their act together and sorted the defences out.
